NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSN.
RECOMMENDATIONS ON SMOKE DETECTORS
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the
recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard
#74 as follows:
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment
in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A smoke detector installed outside of
each separate sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each
additional story of the family living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces
and unfinished attics.
In addition, the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the living
room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage
rooms, basements and attached garages.
